for me i think the oldest i can remember that i have played is an atari game called GAlaga,it is the one of the pioneers in space games wherein you will have to shoot down all UFO in sight and you only have three lives for the mission...nice game even if it has poor graphics then....can you still remember that?

I think the first ever video game I played was loadrunner. I'm not sure if that game was on atari or the commodore 64 (is that the right name? I can't even remember the game console) It was such a long time ago.

I remember playing a game called lemmings, but cannot remember what it was on. I used to think it was the funniest game I had ever played and I remember that I was pretty good at it, I used to sit and play on it for hours and would not go to bed until the early hours of the morning. I know that the game is still about but I have never played on the newer version of it.

hi john!
i know Galaga! i have played that before as well. but i think the last video game i played was either Battle City or Bomber Man. those two are the favorite games here in our house. my nieces and nephew would play them until someone tell them to turn off the tv. ^__^;; now i'm thankful that our video game player is broken. energy and money are saved.

When I was little my cousin had an Atari I remember playing games on it but not sure what they were called. I think one might have been Asteroids then there was a carnival game too that was really fun. I do remember the first Mario game too on Nintendo.

It's called 'Volfied'. You are a pilot of a ship and you return to your planet - Volfied - but you discover it's been invaded by aliens. Your mission is to rescue the people, but in order to succeed you have to conquer 80% of the territory in each level. I was addicted to it.

oh wait, your counting console games. Hmm, I don't have a clue which came out first, Oregon Trail, or the Atari 2600, I had a TON of 2600 games, then moved on to both coleco, and the atari 7800
Gawd games have come a long way since the original stick figure basketball lol

Don't laugh. The oldest game that I remember playing is Pong. That's right, me and my sister used to love getting up early on the weekends and playing Pong. It's a game of true skill, a lot like tennis. It really take some skill to hit the little dot with the tiny line. I wonder if my sister still remembers. LOL!
